Venous aneurysms are rare lesions that may be the source of pulmonary emboli and can result in death. The authors have recently treated several patients who had venous aneurysms of the upper extremity, lower extremity, and jugular system. Venous aneurysms usually appear to have a safe natural history in these locations, although all of the reported patients required surgery after the development of symptoms owing to complaints of pain, and/or cosmetic appearance, and/or a diagnosis of thrombosis. These cases are presented, along with a review of venous aneurysms occurring at other sites and their causes.
